I never really expected much from ntl since then.They are trying to make money after all and at least they were more honest than some 24/7 dial up ISP's that took my money and then ran.....

I think that was because NTL expected the industry to move towards free dial up, but then the rest of the ISP's realised people were so ignorant they could continue to screw them over.
A similar thing happened in the mobile phone industry, orange introduced a deal where for a one of fee of £15 a pay as your go customer could have 5 a day free text messages indefinately. The offer was soon withdrawn, after they realised that no one else was doing it
. It still amazes me how phone companies can charge for text messages today.
